Goodness sakes, Robbie!

Here I go again! It's been awhile since I have had multiple projects going on at the same time!  BUT, for some reason, I'm getting back into that mode!  I honestly don't have many UFO (unfinished objects) laying around.  I always feel like it's homework that I have to finish...guess I had good study habits as a kid!  HA  But guess what I found!!!!!

Back in '98, Bob and I took a 2 week trip out west, flying to AZ and rented a car for traveling the state!  Which we did..top to bottom.  We had a stop in Sedona, which was beautiful and a walk around the business district, where I found this needlepoint pattern.  It's about 17"x17" and because of my love of anything southwest, I purchased with high hopes.  HA

And look what I found in my sewing room closet!!! Back in '99, I remember stopping at a local needlepoint shop to purchase threads I needed.  And I found receipts for threads in the project bag dated January 5,1999! And another one for two weeks later.

When we both were still working, Bob would golf on Thursday's after work.  So, after work,  I would take my project with me to a local needle craft store in a town a few miles from our house.    There were about 4 or 5 of us that met each Thursday and just sat around working on our stitching...just like a knitting group!  

I can't believe how much I actually finished!!

If you look at the picture above I don't have that much more to do...well, when I look at the patterns on what I need to do, it's overwhelming!!!!  And it looks like A LOT that needs completed!  

I can't believe I did these blocks!!!!

Just reading the pattern for one of the blocks has me shaking my head!  HA

So, the plan is...I am going to start working on this each Wednesday...why Wednesday you say?  Well, that's for another post!  Until then, I'll keep scratching my head; do a little knitting, work on my paper quilting piece I want to finish and continue to be Betty Crocker and Suzie Homemaker!  Who knows, I may finish in 2025 or 2026 or ?????
